First role at the age of 21
But let’s go back a little to a time when no one had heard of the American comedian. The time when Chris Pratt, at the age of 21, took his first steps in front of the camera.
Not a movie camera or a TV camera, but a short amateur film made by actress Rae Dawn Chong in 2000. This little horror comedy called Cursed Part 3 therefore has the peculiarity of allowing the future leader of the Guardians. Galactica is about to start her acting career.
From the small to the big screen
The young actor set foot far from the then Hollywood set, but has come a long way since then. Before taking over the cinemas, it is on television that Chris Pratt is writing the next page of his story. After a small role in the series Les Associés, he played one of the main characters of Everwood.
This four-season adventure allowed him to enter the cinema and play small roles, such as in the comedy Best Enemies, in the horror film Jennifer’s Body or in the action film “Wanted”, opposite James McAvoy. It was during this period that Chris Pratt began to introduce himself to the general public, playing the role of the lovable and clumsy Andy Dwyer in the TV series Parks and Recreation (a spin-off of The Office).
A promising start to a journey that will surely take him to the stars of the Marvel Universe and the jungles of Jurassic World.
